I decided that I am going to learn C, or atleast try to.


So, where did you learn, and where is a good place to read about C?

EDIT: Correction, should I learn C++ instead?
EDIT EDIT: Difference?

Get a refrence book for C and just jump right in. Very similar to Java.

C++ is object oriented C, therefore learn C first and add objects to it later. Really, most of what I do is just C, but I always use a C++ compiler ;)

what's the name of ur compiler Ben?

Its his mind. DUH!

#include <windows.h>
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN

using namespace std;

int main(){
  cout >>"N3ss3s: I'm going in!";
  cout >>"BAM! BAM! BAM!";
  cout >>"N3ss3s: Mission complete.";

  return 0;
}

Dev C++ is a good free compiler from Bloodshed software.

Yes, C is better to learn first. Learning OOP first encourages messier and slower code writing.

And Dev C++ is good, but it's not lean. It adds a lot of overhead. But for beginners, whatever. Unless you want to build giant programs, it should be good enough.

He is a beginner. It's fine. What I recommend is always right =P

What would make something in an OOP language slower than a non-OOP languages? (Such as AOP languages..)

I have Microsoft Visual 2008 Express…

Yeah, say it, it sucks and everything?

VS isn't too bad actually, but you might want the SDK.

And as for why OOP is more inefficient: http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=645261

Yes, I have VC++ 2008 express. I actually find it quite easy to use.


And the SDK :p
